Venue co-owner and director Ian Grutchfield granted permission to use the old school for concerts and recreation in July and hosted the first of many occasions on Saturday, September 12.
Suffolk artist Christine Coe’s paintings were exhibited in 10 a. m. at 4 p. m. and she said she was fine, with more than 350 people a day.
The occasion, which marked the Open House of National Heritage, saw guests on the assets of Bridge Street, where concert pianist Thomas McIntosh founded the East Anglian Summer Music Festival in 1978 and Opera Anglia in 1989.
Grutchfield hopes the heritage site will be a “cultural center” for the city and plans many occasions to attract more visitors to Hadleigh for music concerts, art exhibitions and fashion.
He added: “It’s a dream come true and a wonderful privilege for the last old-school keeper and have the opportunity to revive Thomas McIntosh’s legacy, as well as create a cultural center to attract a new audience.
“Naturally, we need to actively engage the network in the progression of our long-term vision of this building.
“Our plans are ambitious, but in this other world, of course, we will adhere to all official protection guidelines. “
Social distance measurements were followed over the weekend and wearing masks inside.
